Good morning! I'll try to keep this short and sweet. We did a ceremony where we all wore our whites, recited the pledge, lit our candles and were pinned and capped. We also had 2 speakers, one was a nurse from the community, the other was a fellow student that we all had "elected" to speak. she was awesome--moved us all to tears. I thought all of the traditional things were well worth it, made us realize how our hard work throughout school had prepared us for what was to come, and what others before us had accomplished.

Hi
,
Does your nursing school have any tradition or ceremonies? For example, a white breakfast, a pinning ceremony, throwing black stockings into a lake, giving away certain items after graduation to younger nursing students, capping ceremonies, recitation of the nightengale pledge, etc. And if you would please give a brief description of the tradition or ceremony?
My school doesn't really have any and I was wondering if other schools do. I don't know what other traditions or ceremonies would be called so I just listed stuff I have heard/read from other people.
Thanks for posting.
